To the Editor:

This is a non-partisan message.

Keep this in mind, as we approach mid-term elections for Congress. The incumbents have done nothing, except take care of themselves. Let’s give them a pink slip!

Vote for the challengers with this proviso, you must serve the people and propose and fight to:

*Insist on a balanced budget.

*Resolve national problems such as immigration

*Place Congress in the same retirement and health care system as the voters.

*Make Congress subject to every law they create.

*Insist on Campaign Finance Reform eliminating large dollar loop holes and secrecy.

*Institute a system of term limits to reduce the career politician syndrome.

Send a message to Washington that they have gone too far. Do their jobs or be voted out. We need a similar message for our Hartford representatives.

Even if only 10 percent effective, this movement will send a strong message to elected officials which will incent them to work for us, rather than themselves and their parties. Yes, we may lose a few good people, but this collateral damage will be well worth the overall benefit to our State and the Country.

Share this movement with your friends and on social media.
